Bayern Munich will look to keep their unbeaten Bundesliga record alive on Saturday when they take on in-form Union Berlin at the Allianz Arena.

Vincent Kompany’s men responded well to last week’s Champions League defeat at the hands of Barcelona, ​​with Bayern past VfL Bochum 5-0 in the Bundesliga before handing out a 4-0 win to FSV Mainz in midweek in the German Cup.

Another defeat at Bayern seems unlikely today, now that Union Berlin has one of the strongest defenses in the competition. Bo Svensson’s men are currently in fourth place after four wins, three draws and just one defeat in the Bundesliga and will nevertheless look to bounce back after a shock 2-0 German Cup defeat to Arminia Bielefeld on Wednesday.

Bayern Munich will host Union Berlin at the Allianz Arena on Saturday, November 2. The kick-off is scheduled 3:30 PM CET local time in Germany, making it a 10:30 AM ET or 7:30 AM PT start in the US, a 2:30 PM GMT start in Britain and a 1:30am AEDT kick-off in Australia in the early hours of Sunday morning.

Below we list the best live TV streaming services to watch live Bundesliga football wherever you are in the world.

How to watch the Bundesliga from anywhere with a VPN

If you find that you can’t watch Bundesliga matches locally, you may need another way to watch the matches. That’s where using a VPN can come in handy. A VPN is also the best way to prevent your ISP from throttling your speed on game day by encrypting your traffic, and it’s also a good idea if you’re traveling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network and give you an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins.

With a VPN you can virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to access the game. Most VPNs, like our Editors’ Choice, ExpressVPN, make it very easy to do this.

Using a VPN to watch or stream sports is legal in every country where VPNs are legal, including the US, UK and Canada, as long as you have a legitimate subscription to the service you’re streaming. You’ll want to make sure your VPN is set up correctly to prevent leaks: even if VPNs are legal, the streaming service can terminate the account of anyone it deems to be circumventing properly applied blackout restrictions.

ExpressVPN is our current top VPN pick for people who want a reliable and secure VPN, and it works across devices. It normally costs $13 per month, but if you sign up for a $100 annual subscription you get three months free and save 49%. That’s the equivalent of $6.67 per month with code SPECIAL OFFERwhich should be applied automatically.

Please note that ExpressVPN offers a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Can I watch Bayern Munich vs. Want to live stream Union Berlin in Great Britain?

Although the broadcast rights for live coverage of Bundesliga matches in Great Britain are held by Sky Sports, this match has not been selected for live broadcast by the network.

That also means that if you’re traveling in Britain for pleasure or work, you’re unlikely to be able to watch the game as you normally would at home, thanks to geo-blocking.

However, there is one option to get around this. By using a VPN, as explained above, you can set your location to a country where the match is being broadcast and go from there.

Quick tips for streaming the Bundesliga with a VPN

  • With four variables at play (your ISP, browser, video streaming provider, and VPN), your experiences and success streaming Bundesliga matches may vary.
  • If you don’t see the location you want as the default option for ExpressVPN, try using the “search for city or country” option.
  • If you’re having trouble downloading the game after turning on your VPN and setting it to the correct viewing area, you can try two things to quickly resolve this. First, log into your streaming service subscription account and make sure the address registered for the account is one in the correct display area. If not, you may need to change the physical address registered to your account. Second, some smart TVs (like Roku) don’t have VPN apps that you can install directly on the device itself. Instead, you’ll need to install the VPN on your router or the mobile hotspot you use (like your phone) so that every device on the Wi-Fi network now appears in the correct viewing location.
  • All of the VPN providers we recommend have helpful instructions on their main site for quickly installing the VPN on your router. In some cases, with Smart TV services, after you install a cable network’s sports app, you may be asked to verify a numeric code or click a link sent to your registered email address for your Smart TV. This is where having a VPN on your router will also help as both devices appear to be in the right location.
  • And don’t forget that browsers can often give away location despite using a VPN, so make sure you’re using a privacy-first browser to log into your services. We normally recommend Brave.
